Gui internal

From Navit's Wiki

Contents 1 Configuration 2 Menu 2.1 Actions 2.2 Settings 2.3 Tools 2.4 Display 2.5 Maps 2.6 Vehicle 2.7 Rules 3 On Screen Display

Configuration

Ok, first replace

 type="gtk" 

with

 type="internal" 

in the <gui ... /> tag in navit.xml.

Install librsvg. (or rather librsvg-2-gtk in case of the ipaq)

(Re)start navit.
You'll see a screen with the map with more room for the map when compared to the gtk view.

Menu

Tick on the screen (I use an ipaq), or click on the screen with the mouse and the screen switches to a menu.

The menu has these items:

1. Actions
2. Settings
3. Tools

On Screen Display

When you have the internal gui working, a next step could be to look at the On Screen Display, or OSD for short. Using the OSD you can overlay the map with various items for status information and control.
